Many consumers want to buy a second car for their family, perhaps because the first car is too fuel-intensive to buy a low-cost model to travel; or they want to buy a scooter for their wives/elderly people at home, and so on. When choosing the second car of the family, our budget is usually not high, but fortunately, the cost of buying a car is not high now, and it is easy to buy a car with a budget of 50,000. For example, Micro/small electric vehicles such as Hongguang MINIEV, Chery QQ Ice Cream, and Reading Mango are all models that can be brought home with a budget of 50,000. These models are not non-compliant models, they all meet quality standards, can be legally licensed, and even because they are driven by pure electricity, they can also be unlimited in daily travel, which is more convenient than our fuel car travel.
So, how does these models with 50,000 can buy in the end perform? Here we take the 2022 Yue Enjoy model priced at 44,800 in the Hongguang MINIEV car series as an example, considering that this car does not have to purchase tax, it is less than 50,000 in full. Next, let's see from all aspects whether the product performance of this car can meet our car needs.
The exterior styling of this car is actually no different from other models in the series, giving people the feeling of being more fashionable. Its body contour is somewhat similar to a "square box", but the angular position adds a circular arc treatment to make it look more playful. The side of the car is embellished with simple blackened elements, creating an effect similar to the suspended roof, giving it a little more youthfulness.
The body size of the Hongguang MINIEV is not large, the body circumference is 2920/1493/1621mm, the wheelbase is 1940mm, the seat layout scheme is three doors and four seats, and the front seats need to be reclined in the second row. If it is used for home use, the space of the Hongguang MINIEV is actually not enough, and the rear seat is not suitable for adults to ride for a long time. However, if you take a short emergency ride, the rear space of the Hongguang MINIEV is actually enough. And the rear seat also has a child safety seat interface, so it is not troublesome to pick up and drop off children. If you usually shop and buy too many groceries, you can also put the second row of seats of the Hongguang MINIEV upside down to expand the space in the trunk. In terms of seat material, Hongguang MINIEV opted for fabric.
The small size of the body actually has its own advantages, that is, when looking for a parking space, Hongguang MINIEV does not require the owner to spend too much effort. For example, in the downtown area, parking spaces are generally difficult to find, Hongguang MINIEV car length is less than 3 meters, the width of the car is less than 1 meter 5, the space occupied is actually not large, so it is easier to find a parking space. Then there is the time of traffic jams, Hongguang MINIEV can shuttle through the alleys and alleys in the city, avoid congested avenues, and shorten travel time.
In terms of power, Hongguang MINIEV comes with a 20kW electric motor, the parameter performance and fuel vehicle can not be compared, but the Hongguang MINIEV size is not large, for it, 20kW motor can actually ensure a good power output. In the urban scene, Hongguang MINIEV wants to run to 60km/h pressure is not large, plus it is a rear-drive, the Enjoyment model also has uphill assistance, loaded with 4 people and then climb the steep slope will not be unable to go up. However, if you want to run to 100km/h on the highway, you need the owner to spend a long time to speed up.
The maximum endurance of the Hongguang MINIEV model is 170km, which is shorter than that of fuel vehicles, and its endurance is not outstanding in electric vehicles. However, purely from the perspective of the urban transportation scene, most people's daily travel mileage is about 20km, and a few cases will exceed 50km, so the endurance provided by Hongguang MINIEV is not much pressure to meet the travel needs of four or five days. The car also supports 220V AC charging, which can be supplemented with the most common household sockets, and can also be charged when returning home from work. As for the cost of the car, the travel cost of one kilometer of Hongguang MINIEV is 5 cents, and the scooter such as Polo also consumes 3 and 4 cents per kilometer.
Therefore, from the perspective of pure daily transportation, it is more appropriate to choose a small-size electric vehicle such as Hongguang MINIEV, which has a stylish appearance, low cost of using the car, and convenient travel experience, but it is more convenient to save money than some small-size fuel vehicles. But relatively speaking, Hongguang MINIEV's home use ability will be inferior, and the space is not particularly large. Therefore, Hongguang MINIEV is more suitable for consumers who have a car at home or do not have high space requirements.
